Nigerian-American singer and dancer Korra Obidi has come under fire from Nigerians on social media after jetting off to Hawaii immediately following the completion of her $50,000 GoFundMe target.

Obidi launched the fundraiser to secure legal assistance in overturning her ex-husband Justin Dean’s custody rights over their children.

The GoFundMe campaign, initiated on Friday, aimed to raise $100,000 to cover legal fees. Within a short period, it amassed over $50,000 from more than 950 donors worldwide.

Despite vocalizing her intent to fight for her children, Obidi sparked outrage when she revealed her plans for a Hawaiian vacation during a live Facebook session on Sunday.

Critics accused Obidi of using the fundraiser as a means to finance her lavish lifestyle rather than pursuing legal action against her ex-husband. Disgruntled fans took to social media to express their disappointment, labeling Obidi as a “professional beggar” and questioning her sincerity.

Wanda Johnson, a Facebook user, denounced Obidi’s actions, asserting that she had deceived her supporters. Similarly, Chigoziri Ohochukwu condemned Obidi for what they perceived as manipulative behavior.

Others, like Jennifer Lynn Russell, called for the GoFundMe campaign to be reported in an attempt to reclaim donated funds. Nene Peters expressed disbelief at Obidi’s swift transition from seeking legal aid to embarking on a holiday.

Amidst the criticism, some defended Obidi’s right to privacy and autonomy. Mary Monique Napont urged detractors to refrain from scrutinizing Obidi’s choices, emphasizing her multifaceted identity as an influencer, performer, student, and mother.

The divorce and custody dispute between Obidi and Dean have been the subject of public attention, with recent developments granting Dean the authority to limit their children’s exposure on Obidi’s social media platforms. Obidi has accused Dean of abuse and manipulation during their marriage, alleging that he continues to mistreat their daughters.

As the controversy unfolds, Obidi’s actions have reignited debates surrounding accountability and transparency in online fundraising efforts.

Renowned Nigerian disc jockey, Florence Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has sparked speculation about her romantic future after attending a lavish Indian wedding.

Sharing glimpses of the extravagant ceremony on her social media platform, the billionaire heiress couldn’t help but contemplate the idea of tying the knot with an Indian suitor.

Enthralled by the opulent display of Indian traditions and customs, DJ Cuppy envisaged a fusion of Nigerian and Indian cultures in a potential union.

Expressing her musings, she remarked, “Maybe I should marry an Indian man. Imagine the traditional wedding.”

This revelation comes following DJ Cuppy’s previous relationship with British boxer, Ryan Taylor, which ended in July 2023, mere months after their surprising engagement in November 2022.

While the disc jockey’s statement has ignited curiosity among her followers, no further details have emerged regarding any potential suitors or imminent plans for marriage.

DJ Cuppy continues to captivate audiences with her eclectic tastes and ventures, leaving admirers eagerly anticipating her next move in both her personal and professional spheres.
